Item - 2021.EY23.1

The Etobicoke York Community Council withdrew the item.

This item was withdrawn from the agenda and will be included on the May 17, 2021 Etobicoke York Community Council agenda.

This application proposes to amend both the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code and City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the properties located at 1306-1310 The Queensway. The application proposes a mixed-use development containing 1,018 square metres of retail space at grade and 840 dwelling units. The development would consist of a 10-storey mid-rise building and two towers of 24 and 35-storeys connected via a 8-storey podium. The mid-rise building would have an overall height of 38.5 metres, inclusive of mechanical penthouse. The tower heights would be 81.7 and 113.3 metres, respectively, and the podium would have a height of 26.4 metres. The proposed development would have a total gross floor area of 67,458 square metres, which would result in a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 5.72 times the area of the lands. A new 1,575 square metre public park would be provided on the south-east corner of the site and an additional 759 square metres of Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS) is proposed between the buildings.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020).

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-laws, subject to the conditions outlined in this report.
